Flu vaccination

Flu can be serious, if you have a chronic condition such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease, lung disease, epilepsy or are on tablets which suppress your immune system. For these patients, we would normally recommend that you have an annual flu vaccination. Please look out for our flu vaccination open sessions, normally held towards the end of September. Alternatively, if you miss these sessions, you can make an appointment to have the vaccination with one of our HCAs. Please call the practice if you need further information.

Shingles vaccination

The shingles vaccination is offered to patients as they reach their 70th birthday and is a once only vaccination. The vaccination programme is relatively new and there is a “catch up” programme for older patients, who may be able to have the vaccination up to age 80. The entitlement rules are quite complicated, so please contact the practice to find out if you are eligible to have the vaccination.

Travel immunisations

Please contact the practice to book an appointment with our practice nurse for advice about immunisation and avoiding tropical illnesses. Please get advice as soon as you have booked your holiday.

We are no longer funded for cosmetic procedures, in line with the East Midlands Adult Cosmetic Procedures Policy. This applies to both cryotherapy (freezing) and minor operations. If we are unable to provide the service, we are able to provide contact details for local private providers.
